Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2011159570A1] A retainer ring (20) including an outer ring (76) having an exterior surface (78), an interior surface (80), and a plurality of spring beam elements (82) extending inwardly from the interior surface (80), and a central aperture (96). Each of the spring beam elements (82) includes an elongated arm (84) having a first end (86) attached to the interior surface (80) of the outer ring (76) and a second, free end (88) opposite the first end (86). Each of free ends (88) of the arms (84) includes a tab portion (92) and a pressure pad (94) that extends from the tab portion (92). The retainer ring (20) captivates pin members (12), such as bolts, onto work pieces (114), such that the pressure pads (94) engage and align with an annular groove (40) of the bolt (12). When the bolt (12) engages the retainer ring (20), each of the spring beam elements (82) is displaced and expands radially from a free position to an expanded position in order to enable the bolt (12) to travel through the aperture (96). The retainer ring (20) captivates the bolt (12) onto the work piece (114), while providing a postive hold out of the bolt (12).
